Exposed: Medal of Honor Giunta’s Family Forced to Third Row for Ceremony

SSgt Giunta, the recipient of the highest military award one can receive, stated in an interview with 60 Minutes that he was just “an average soldier.” He truly exemplifies what today’s volunteer service member is all about, “service above self.”

And so it comes as no surprise the SSgt would not make any mention that his family was assigned the third row for the award ceremony while U.S. Senators and the DC elite took the first two rows.

Actual footage does show that SSgt Giunta’s parents have two seats in the front and it could very well be that his extended family were assigned the third row.

The bottom line: SSgt Giunta is an exemplary soldier and his family deserved the best seats during the ceremony. Let’s just hope this administration thought as he did, “service above self” and stacked the first two rows with Giunta’s family.
